Summary
This study tested a more precise dental surgery for people with persistent root infections after standard treatment. Using a 3D-printed guide, surgeons aimed to remove infected tissue more accurately, reduce surgery time, and improve quality of life. The trial involved 70 adults with infected tooth roots and compared the guided approach to traditional freehand surgery.
